Robot Damashii Arche Gundam, Gaddess, Gaga & Others

Some items we totally overlooked in Tamashii Nation 2009:



Robot Damashii Arche Gundam, Gaddess and Gaga.

The photos resurface after the announcement of the Robot Damashii Regnant to be released mentioned the other day. As you can see, they are still unpainted prototypes meant as display items only at the event. But Robot Damashii Diary has shed some light on the possibilities of their actual release.

More features and gimmicks are in planning for Arche Gundam, including the transformation of its escape pod, sword deployment, beam saber on the feet, Fang deployment and the container, as well as chest open function. Gaddess will come with Fangs as well.

As for Gaga, a huge booster can be seen, but will Bandai actually go with the actual release? If you read the original text, you will see that the author wasn't sure about that either XD

"まさかの商品化!? ともいえるこの機体! 
ガガやレグナントといったところまで深入りしてしまう、ある意味「バンダイらしくない」
ところこそが「ROBOT魂らしさ」? ではないかと勝手に思ってます。
というより私が量産メカ&異形メカ好きなだけかもしれませんが・・・
それはそれとしてこのブースター、真面目に作るとかなりデカイですね(汗)"

See this magazine scan for Hobby Japan May issue to have a look at the color scheme for Gaddess and Gaga.
